Re: HP 86A/86B/87A/87XM ROM query - John - 12-21-2005 Thanks, I am updating the PRM-85 userguide for HP-86/87 users, and would like to give some accurate advice on setting the board up. It would cause a clash if the machine had one ROM built in that was the same as one enabled on the PRM-85, so I am trying to avoid this occuring.
